March is Women's History Month
Throughout history, women have been pioneers, trailblazers, and changemakers, shaping society in countless ways. We proudly celebrate and encourage the study, observance, and recognition of their essential contributions to history and our world today.
The 2025 Women’s History Month theme, Moving Forward Together! Women Educating and Inspiring Generations, highlights the profound impact of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. This theme recognizes the invaluable ways in which women have shaped communities, empowered future generations, and driven social progress through knowledge and guidance.
By reflecting on the contributions of women across time, space, and cultures, we honor their perseverance and commitment to building a more inclusive and informed society. Just as education has been a powerful force for change, so too have the women who have tirelessly worked to teach, inspire, and uplift those around them.
From March 1 to March 31, join us in celebrating the lasting legacy of women’s achievements and their ongoing role in shaping a brighter future for all.
The Women’s History Month events are made possible by the support of the Newman Center Trust Fund.
